Is Tieguanyin rock tea?

Tieguanyin belongs to oolong tea and is one of the top ten famous teas in China. Between green tea and black tea, it belongs to semi-fermented tea. It is one of the six famous teas in China, including green tea, black tea, green tea (oolong tea), white tea, yellow tea and black tea. According to the book "Making Tea" compiled by the National Agricultural College, "The origin of green tea (oolong tea) was created and invented by working people in Anxi, Fujian Province in the third to thirteenth year of the Qing Dynasty (1725- 1735), which was first introduced to northern Fujian and then to Taiwan Province Province." Tieguanyin, with its excellent quality and unique fragrance, has been copied from one place to another, spreading all over southern Fujian, northern Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan Province Province and other oolong tea areas. In the 1970s, there was an "oolong tea craze" in Japan, and oolong tea became popular all over the world. Some green tea producing areas such as Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei and Guangxi. Oolong tea production technology has been introduced one after another, and "green to black" (that is, green tea becomes oolong tea) has been implemented. At present, there are four major oolong tea producing areas in China, namely, southern Fujian, northern Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan Province. Fujian has the longest production history, the largest output and the best quality, especially Anxi Tieguanyin and Wuyi Rock Tea. In recent years, Huaan Tieguanyin, which is separated from Anxi Chashan by a mountain and the second largest Tieguanyin production base in China, has also begun to emerge.

Tieguanyin is not only fragrant and mellow, but also a natural and delicious drink, and its health care function is also outstanding in tea. Modern medical research shows that Tieguanyin not only has the health care function of ordinary tea, but also has the functions of anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-arteriosclerosis, preventing and treating diabetes, losing weight and bodybuilding, preventing and treating dental caries, clearing away heat and reducing fire, and relieving hangover. Tieguanyin was introduced from Anxi County, Fujian Province in the eighth year of the Republic of China, and it can be divided into "Tieguanyin with red heart" and "Tieguanyin with green heart". The main producing area is Wenshan period, with thick branches and loose leaves, few buds and thick leaves, and low yield. However, the quality of wrapped tea is higher, and the production period is later than that of Qingxin oolong tea. Slightly arboreal, with oval, thick and fleshy leaves. The leaves are flat and spread out, which is suitable for planting Tieguanyin tea.

Rock tea belongs to green tea (commonly known as oolong tea) and semi-fermented tea. To understand Wuyi rock tea, let's talk about Wuyishan, which is a dual world heritage of nature and culture. It is located in the northeast of Fujian province and has the reputation of "a must in the southeast". The mountains are connected, the valleys are vertical and horizontal, and the Jiuqu River is entangled in them. The climate is mild, warm in winter and cool in summer, with abundant rainfall. Wuyi was surprised not only by the wonder of mountains and rivers, but also by the wonder of producing tea. Wuyishan has steep cliffs, deep pits and huge valleys. Using caves, cracks and crevices, we will build a stone embankment along the border and build a "potted" tea garden. "There is tea in the rock, but there is no tea in the rock", hence the name Rock Tea.

Wuyi rock tea belongs to green tea (commonly known as oolong tea) and semi-fermented tea.

Quality characteristics: Wuyi rock tea is the ancestor of oolong tea, which originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and was formed through special techniques under special microclimate conditions and suitable varieties. Fresh leaves require new buds to grow to full maturity, commonly known as exposed harvesting, enzymatic oxidation and non-enzymatic oxidation to form semi-fermented tea.

The shape is curved, the color is dark brown or dark green, or sand green, or blue brown, or sapphire. The rope is tight, thin or thick, and the soup is orange to golden, clear and bright. The aroma is floral and fruity, while the fragrance is long and clear, or like Momoka, spearmint, osmanthus fragrance, frankincense and so on. The taste is mellow, smooth and sweet, with a unique "rock rhyme". The bottom of leaves is soft and bright, the leaves are green, the edges are red, or the red spots on the edges of leaves are everywhere. Different tea varieties also have different characteristics.

High-quality Wuyi rock tea focuses on "rock rhyme", that is, "rock bone" in rock tea products that win with "rock bone and flower fragrance" Generally speaking, "rock flavor" is a feeling with a particularly mellow taste, which can last for a long time. Tea tree, also known as hard tea base, has good site conditions and is generally more prominent in gravel sand tea gardens.

The "flower fragrance" in rock bone flower fragrance is not the fragrance made by adding flower fragrance like scented tea, but the flower fragrance naturally formed by tea green in the unique processing technology of Wuyi rock tea. Different varieties have a variety of unique fragrance, but the fragrance requires sharp, long, clear, far and rich, which leads to the victory of orchids.

Such as the "cinnamon fragrance" and "spicy taste" of cinnamon. But "longan fragrance" is not a variety feature (it is a process feature with a slight smoke smell).
